Title: Cybersecurity Assessments: finding the way forward

Description: Big enterprises, startups, scaleups, mature in security and just starting their journey - we all from time to time find ourselves in a situation when we wonder what’s next? What should we do to make this company secure? Are we doing the right thing? Cybersecurity assessments help to get the answers and find a way forward. We will talk about frameworks and approaches, how to start self-assessments and what to look for in third party offers if you need help.

We will look into details of using NIST CSF and CIS v8. You will learn about the challenges these frameworks create and how to overcome them. At the end of the workshop you hopefully gain confidence in being able to run a full scale assessment yourself and use the results to improve your company's security posture.
